Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury: preview and prediction
Raised on the rough streets of Burbank, Jake Paul's professional boxing career has already exceeded most reluctant onlookers' expectations, so much so that his cruiserweight bout against the famous Tommy Fury is proving tough to call. Can social media's meanest influencer dish out more punishment than reality TV's toughest personality? There's only one way to find out.
Both men enter the fight with unblemished records, which isn't entirely surprising seeing as they have just 14 professional bouts between them. Paul's hitlist, however contrived, is certainly eye-catching.
His gilded boxing-as-banter stunt has seen him embarrass former UFC stars Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley, albeit an Anderson Silva bowed by age and a Tyron Woodley hampered by a career-ending shoulder issue. It must be said, though, that his front-foot approach, impressive power and highlights reel of memorable knockdowns means he's often infuriatingly good to watch.
That Fury, the half-brother of heavyweight world champion Tyson, is better known for his appearances on Love Island than any of his exploits in the ring says much about the current state of boxing.
He's only fought once over the past 17 months, a points decision victory over Daniel Bocianski, and though the Fury family has joked about disowning him were he to lose, his opponent is not only bigger, but he also commands a much higher knockout percentage – 67% to Fury's 50%.
The WBC promising Paul a cruiserweight world ranking if he wins has piled even more pressure on Fury, who has had the bout postponed twice. If Fury were to lose, don't be surprised if Logan Paul and Tyson Fury started "beefing".
The main card starts at 1.30pm ET / 6.30pm GMT. The Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury ring walks are expected at around 4pm ET / 9pm GMT. The fight is scheduled for eight three-minute rounds. Follow our guide below as we explain how to watch a Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury live stream from anywhere.

Does Jake Paul deserve a world ranking?
Not according to boxing promoter Eddie Hearn. Speaking to the IFLTV YouTube Channel, the Matchroom Boxing MD said: "Tommy Fury's a proper fighter and Jake Paul would make a statement if he won that fight. Not a statement that he can challenge for a world title, but, ultimately, there's a little bit of publicity in there.
"Is it right? Not really. Because there's fighters that deserve to be in the top 15 much more than Jake Paul, but it's the world we live in."
